Nonstudy antihypertensive drugs could beadded to control blood pressure except for β-blockers in those assignedto the calcium antagonist strategy and calcium antagonists for those assignedto the non–calcium antagonist strategy. Titration ranges: atenolol, mg/d; hydrochlorothiazide, mg/d; trandolapril, 1-8 mg/d; andverapamil sustained release, mg/d. *For patients with creatinine levelsof 2.0 mg/dL or higher (≥177 µmol/L), the recommended starting dosewas 0.5 mg/d of trandolapril.
